Camaro PC more flashy than hot performer

  • Most people, particularly gamers, want high-performance computers. Meanwhile, muscle car fans love the Chevy Camaro. How about combining the two: a PC that's a dead ringer for a Chevy Camaro.


    That's what you can buy at ChevyMall.com. Colors include Aqua Blue, Black, Cyber Gray, Inferno Orange, Rally Yellow, Silver Ice, Summit White, and (probably the most desired) Victory Red. Pricing starts at $1239.99.

    Unfortunately, the PC looks a lot hotter than it really is. For example, the CPU is a very modest dual core Intel® Atom N330. There's no SSD option, either, and the only upgrades you can make are to increase the RAM from 4GB to 8GM and the hard drive from 250GB to 500GB. Don't expect SLI, either: graphics are NVIDIA ION.

    The machine is loaded in terms of ports and such, and integrates them well into the "car." For example, there are two USB ports in the grille of the car, a slot-load DVD drive at the front bumper, and two more USB ports on the back. It has the requisite VGA port, Gigabit LAN port, and an HDMI port, as well as audio out and a microphone. It also has built-in 802.11n, and runs Windows 7.

    Fully pimped out, the Camaro Personal Computer is only $1599.99. As we said, however, it's hardly as hot as the exterior makes you think it is. Still, it will look nice beneath your desk. Unfortunately, as much as you might want it to, particularly with the new channel "The Hub" which is showing the first generation Transformers cartoon, it won't change itself into an Autobot.
